This denial of back wages to the appellant/petitioner for the period he was kept out of service i.e. from 28.02.2003 until his reinstatement on 04.05.2012 by the learned Single Judge, which has aggrieved the appellant/ petitioner to move this Court through this present intra-court appeal which is limited to the issue of back wages.
